Re: What battery do you use in your early V8?
When I started working on my flatheads last year I only had two six volt batteries on the farm and they were both in one diesel tractor. I "borrowed" them to use in the 52 Merc and 39 Ford since I didn't want to buy a new battery at the time. They work fine but are too long to fit the battery case and are kind of perched in place as best I can manage and held with bungee cord on the Merc. Not ideal for every day use but for now it works.
Believe it or not these two batteries date back to 2002 or earlier. Just your basic Co-op hardware store batteries with no special attention but they sure do last.
